Product Safety

We are committed to excellence in the management of the Environment, Health and Safety.
There are no higher priorities for us than the health and safety of our colleagues, contractors, customers and the protection of the environment.

One way in which we apply this is by having strong systems in place to ensure that our products are safe for customers and the environment. We also design our products to comply with all relevant product safety and environmental laws and standards.

Edwards policy is to eliminate any foreseeable injury or damage associated with the use of its products by ensuring we only market safe products. This is achieved through employees adhering to the standards contained in the company's product safety procedures such as:

All departments understanding and complying with their responsibilities contained in the product safety manual

Products being designed and reviewed in accordance with the Product Safety and Compliance Review Procedure

Products meeting relevant product safety laws and standards in the territories into which they are sold

Giving consideration to their environmental impact during initial design review

Product safety incidents being given priority, and investigated promptly in accordance with the Product Safety Complaints Procedure

Products meeting relevant product safety laws and standards in the territories into which they are sold. Edwards works actively with a number of industry associations to develop technology and industry safety standards.

The development of safe and environmentally acceptable products is continuous.
